The president of Somaliland was at the World Economic Forum this week to win international recognition for his country and pitch investment opportunities in the East African nation.
At a closed-door dinner on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum, President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi outlined investment opportunities in Somaliland, notably the country's strategic deep-sea port of Berbera, which sits along one of the world's busiest shipping routes, according to two people present.
In attendance were Eric Trump, son of the US president Donald Trump and a leading executive of the Trump family's sprawling business spanning from real estate to crypto, and Israel's president, Isaac Herzog, whose country recognized Somaliland last month -a first by any United Nations member.
